Minecraft on MacBook Air M1 2020

I have Minecraft on my Macbook air from 2015 and it obviously overheats when I play it and the fans are loud. I'm thinking about getting the new Macbook air, but I see that it doesn't have internal fans. Will my computer overheat too much when I play? Or is it built so that it won't overheat too much?

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Minecraft on MacBook Pro Hi, I have recently bought the 2019 Macbook pro with the Touch Bar, and I would like to know if Minecraft is well supported on my computer. I downloaded it (because I like to play from time to time without being a PC gamer), and soon after entering my world, the fan start (not too loud tho) and the Mac begins to heat a little bit. I just want to make sure this is normal because if this is not a good idea for the longevity and components of the computer, I will stop playing. However, I know that the latest MacBook Pro can run pretty anything big, so I just want to make sure. Thanks!

Can Macbook Air overheat? I'm just wondering if an Early 2015 Macbook Air could overheat from running a game continuously for 6 hours or more?(Provided there aren't any malfunctions in the Mac, and it is placed on a flat surface)

Brand New Macbook air overheating I just bought a brand new MacBook Air, and I've noticed that it heats up doing very simple internet tasks. Aside from that, when I play certain games such as Minecraft and Civilization V, it gets incredibly hot and the fan is constantly on full blast. People I've asked with older models of this computer have had no issues with these games. Is this normal for the new MacBook Airs or is there something wrong with mine? More importantly, is it okay for me to continually use it when it is heating up in this manner, or will it damage the internals of my laptop?
